Apparently the best breakfast buffet of Bilbao – not so sure about it: Breakfast Restaurant @ Hotel Ercilla de Bilbao, Autograph Collection (11. April 2025)
When I checked in, I was informed that the buffet breakfast in the Ercilla de Bilbao is the best buffet breakfast in town. Now, I cannot judge on that since I haven’t tried all the buffet breakfasts in town, but I find it a bit of a stretch as a statement. I mean, sure, they […]
An average meal with an absolutely outstanding pork belly and butter ice cream: Restaurant Nerua Guggenheim Bilbao (10. April 2025)
I think I had booked the Nerua Guggenheim Bilbao like four or five times already, but then there was always a change of plans, and I ended up not going to Bilbao. Finally, it was time to do so, and I had the chance to have lunch at the Nerua. I went for the “Muina […]
Delicious breakfast, exquisite service, but on the very expensive side of things: Restaurant Veraz @ Barcelona EDITION (2. March 2025)
The quality of the breakfast at the Veraz is exquisite – no question asked. However, the fact that you end up paying EUR 45.00 for a few items feels quite a bit off. Ultimately, I went for the “eggs Benedict (avocado, two soft-boiled organic eggs and Hollandaise sauce on sourdough bread with sustainably certified smoked […]
One of the more amazing recent Bib Gourmand finds I’ve had in Barcelona: Restaurant CruiX (1. March 2025)
The CruiX was a restaurant I had looked at quite a few times already in the past, but it was finally time to go and try it. And it’s definitely worth doing so! Even if you go for the late shift after 10pm, you will have a lovely experience. I decided to go for the […]
Quite a delicious option for wine and dine (or lunch): Restaurant Veraz @ Barcelona EDITION (1. March 2025)
I was positively surprised by the offering the EDITION has on its ground-floor restaurant. The “beef tartare on coca bread toasts (cured yolk and micro green)” (EUR 20.00) is an absolutely tasty bite. The meat is rich and perfectly seasoned, and it goes well with the egg yolk. So, definitely a great starter. If you […]
An amazing view over the roofs of Barcelona: Restaurant The Roof @ EDITION Barcelona (1. March 2025)
The Roof is a truly elegant location, which offers you the possibility to enjoy life over the top of Barcelona while taking in a bit of that sun. The interior design is lovely, but in the beginning of the year, including end of February, it’s still a bit too cold for you to be outside […]
A delicious find at the other end of the city with exquisite service: Restaurant Dagma (28. February 2025)
Frankly, probably I would never have come here if I wasn’t hungry and in the vicinity of the Dagma – but it turns out that sometimes these ‘random finds’ are actually quite pleasant surprises. The restaurant is located on the third floor of the Princess hotel and offers a small but interesting selection of dishes. […]
Not easy to find a decent place with shisha – this wasn’t it: Restaurant Al Rouche (28. February 2025)
Personally, a good way to unwind is having a nice shisha – and so I was on the hunt for one. Frankly, it wasn’t as easy as I had expected and hoped for, but finally I found the Al Rouche, which was offering quite a good shisha, to be honest, but, unfortunately, not too comfortable […]
